CirrusAnsible playbook error
Hi,
Need help in Ansible playbook.
Trying to run a basic playbook to fetch facts and command, but it keeps popping error. Can please anyone help.
Playbook 1
- name: Collect
bigip_device_facts:
gather_subset:
- interfaces
- vlans
provider:
server: x.x.x.x
user: <username>
password: <password>
Error
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
ERROR! 'bigip_device_facts' is not a valid attribute for a Play
The error appears to have been in '/ansible-01/playbook.yml': line 1, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: Collect
^ here
Playbook 2
- name: run show version
bigip_command:
commands: show sys version
provider:
server: x.x.x.x
user: <username>
password: <password>
Error
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'

Thanks,

Hello Aditya,
It seems that your playbook structure is incorrect. You're missing the host and task information.
You should try the following:
- hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: no tasks: - name: Collect bigip_device_facts: gather_subset: - interfaces - vlans provider: server: x.x.x.x user: <username> password: <password>Be careful to respect the indentation.
Best,
Mael
